<div dir="ltr">I agree that there is rational system in all schools and a clear goal to educate students. With a natural system, I think relationships among the school staff are extremely important. I really like what you said that humans need a sense of belonging to be motivated and have a good work ethic. I also agree that schools are open/social systems and that school employees have shared expectations of how they are suppose to present themselves in the school environment. I feel this is also true for even outside of the school environment. I feel this is true when I am attending my children's sports events and feel as if I am supposed to be treated with higher standards that the other parents. I feel like most school environments have similar expectations but can differ depending on the social environments and the different cultural factors. <br><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 8, 2018 at 12:07 PM, Brittany Holsinger <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:brittany.holsinger@redstreaks.org" target="_blank">brittany.holsinger@<wbr>redstreaks.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">

all schools there is a system of rational. There is a clear goal of a
school-keep educate students, and keep them safe. Schools are run efficiently,
because of the clear division of labor among all employees; everyone is there for
a specific reason. Labor is divided just so. The principal is the manager
behind this system. They oversee all parts of this system from planning,
coordinating activities, and even controlling performance of all staff members
to insure the system continues running optimally. <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">A
school is also a natural system in several ways. Natural systems refer to human
relations and the connections we form with others within the same system. This
intersects with what makes a great leader- the personability component. A
natural system indicates that the individuals within the system need to be
respected and yearn for interpersonal connection among others. Since we are,
indeed, humans this complex need for a sense of belonging has been shown to
motivate work ethic and improve efficacy. I believe this can be found with a
simple walk down the hallway before or after school. Teachers and administrators
both need to feel accepted within the school system. To take it one step
further, the same can be said for students. If the overall school climate is
accepting and nurturing the students and staff can both benefit. <span></span></span></p>

schools are open/social systems in that there is a shared expectation as to how
all members are supposed to present themselves within this environment/ setting.
Within the school there is a social norm, to which the system as a whole have
shared goals. <span> </span>Outside of the school,
however, the environment is different, and often the goals are different as
well. Since a school is a social/open system, it interacts with other systems.
The main example of this would be the board of education. Schools often have to
have changes approved by the board- therefore this open system is interacting
with an outside system. <span></span></span></p>
